Is moxibustion suitable to be done every day?

I don’t know why people who know a little bit about Chinese medicine or don’t understand Chinese medicine think that the threshold for moxibustion is very low. Even graduates of a five-year undergraduate program in acupuncture and massage start to work as doctors on Taobao as soon as they leave school. Some people act as moxibustion consultants on Weibo or Zhihu, boasting that moxibustion has no side effects and that moxibustion can cure all diseases. I really hate this kind of people and suffer from them.

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly relies on the biases of the four qi and five flavors to treat diseases. Cold causes heat, and hot causes cold. This is basic common sense. Moxibustion is also biased and is undoubtedly warm. Therefore, it is very suitable for cold diseases, such as frozen shoulder caused by air-conditioned rooms, knee joint pain, and cold dysmenorrhea. The problem is that nowadays there are relatively few people with a pure cold constitution, and the majority of people have a mixture of cold and heat. They generally go to bed late, have a craving for spicy food, eat hot pot and drink cold beer and other modern lifestyles. Very few people have pure cold body symptoms. .

However, those who advocate moxibustion, in order to make money, cannot see the heat of the human body at all, only the cold. There are even many people who say that moxibustion on the Yongquan point can draw the fire down. . . hehe.

All kinds of disdain for the teachers of the school, disdain for the textbooks, reading only by name

Recommended by doctors and everyone’s medical records, listen to Xu Wenbing, read Hao Wanshan, Weibo I paid attention to various medical celebrities, but then I met such a moxibustion master. I had a lively chat with him at that time. In addition, I had not systematically studied acupuncture at that time, so I followed the so-called "tailor-made" moxibustion plan. Alas! At that time, the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. I listened to his nonsense and did moxibustion every day without blowing a fan or turning on the air conditioner. . .

I fell ill later,,,, and he said righteously that it had nothing to do with moxibustion, and asked me to continue to cause the problem. . . It’s hard to describe what I went through later. I was laughed at by several teachers! Later, I took Chinese medicine, cupping, and bloodletting, and the urticaria was gone for a month. The sequelae are that I can't eat spicy hot pot for several consecutive meals, otherwise I will continue to get sick.
